Night Action Plan
Delhi + Bangalore
Between 2006 and 2009, Action Heroes stepped out late at night to mark the city streets and pavements with reports of sexual violence. 8 testimonials were created, each testimonial belonging to an individual from a different age group, at a different time of day and the nature of the experience also varied. The stencils challenged the public perception of street sexual harassment happening to women of a 'certain' kind, in a certain kind of place and only at a certain time of day. The stencil spells out that the incident could have happened right 'here'. It calls the spectator to be an active witness.
The Night Action Plan was conceptualised while at a Public Art Residency, in Khoj ,
New Delhi(2006) . It has been built in 2 cities including Delhi and Bangalore, in languages Hindi and Kannada.
